Very lovely campground. It was quiet and peaceful despite camping over the 4th of July. Loved the camper store and being able to walk down to get an ice cream. All in all just a wonderful place and we will be back!

Amazing campsite beautiful lake setting. Site 4 had a somewhat small parking spot but the site itself had alot of space from other sites. A lot of the sites are pretty close together.

This is truly an epic campground. The location is just perfect--right on the lake and at the start of the park road--and the sites are well-maintained and spacious. It's not a huge campground, so walking around and down to the lake is easy, and there are great kayak and paddle board rentals. If you're coming with kids I recommend bringing scooters or bikes, because it's a great campground to ride around.
A couple things to know: the camp store is not too impressive, particularly with respect to food. Be sure to bring anything you plan on cooking with you, because there's not much to get there. Also, there is no cell phone reception, and the store has no wifi. You can walk or drive out to the visitor center (about half a mile) and use the wifi there.

Great campground! The sites are big, with lot of shade and everything is clean. The bathrooms have running water and a sink with a mirror and they keep them illuminated at night. There is even a very comfortable sink to wash the dishes. The store has nice treats and showers with hot water (5 dollars per day). And the lake is just steps away! Totally recommended!

Beautiful campground, gorgeous park. Our site was perfect…except our camper door faced the road instead of our picnic table.

This campground is phenomenal. Very clean. Sites are not close together. Very quiet. Family oriented. Staff were very nice and helpful. The lake is beautiful and you can rent kayaks and paddle boards. All the roads looked recently resealed. It is a great jumping off point to visit the other areas of Lassen National Park Park. Wish more campground were this nice.

It was a nice park. Wasn’t happy about the generator times. Should be 8am-10pm. The trees were a little to low at done of the sites. But it was clean.

Really lovely forest campground. In loop B there were a lot of large and unique pull through RV sites on asphalt!!! Pretty little trail from campground to the lake. The trail goes all the way around. Lake is just gorgeous with private coves for fishing, picnicking or kayaking/paddle boarding. Beautiful sunset from the boat launch. Campground restrooms had flush toilets and were clean. Showers were at the store for $5 a day. Cabins looked really great for family groups. *Very quiet and low key camp ground. We thought it was odd that we never saw or heard from the camp host, who did have an informative white board at their site. The RV dump on the way out had 3 sweet dumps and 3 water stations- lots of space. I Highly recommend coming here.
